Actually, the official site of UEFA, Phil Jones is listed as a captain in the last 32 second leg match of the 2012's Europa League. However, manager Sir Alex Ferguson surprisingly decided to appoint Park as captain.
Thus, the Park became the first South Korean player who managed to become captain at United. Unfortunately, the first task of the former PSV Eindhoven was marred by the defeat with the score 2-1.
Even so, Park admitted feeling terhomat to get a chance to lead the Red Devils squad. "A kebanggaaan could be captain of Manchester United," said the player who has not defended South Korea's national team.
"This is something that never existed in my mind. However, I hope to get better results," continued the 30 year-old midfielder, as reported by the Daily Post, Saturday (02/25/2012).
Luckily, despite defeat in this match, United still advanced to the round of 16 since winning on aggregate (3-2). In the next round, Park et al will face Athletic Bilbao Spanish representative.
